Work in progress: how to think about the Farcaster channels opportunity

- <100 people groups and >1 million person audiences are well-served today by at-scale world-class mobile apps
- 100 to 1 million person groups are stuck with desktop-oriented apps like Discord and subreddits (cf. Apollo popularity)

If we can figure out how to scale channels (there's still a lot of work to do), every channel becomes it's own social network with multiple clients -- some general purpose Farcaster clients (like Warpcast) that optimize for breadth but potentially more-tailored clients (a Sportscaster client).

No changes now, will iterate with Warpcast until we find the feature set we think is right (trying to keep as simple as possible). Then if there is anything to add to the protocol, propose it via FIP, get rough consensus and ship.

Sounds like you’re planning FC architectural changes for channels? Where can we find out more details?

if this is the case, then how can i post to one app without posting to all?

ie. post to one channel and make sure only those people see it who are on that channel?
